In this deck you will find 21 different areas of startup marketing where you can employ growth hacking tactics. Little tricks of automation or hackery that help you squeeze more out of your customer / user acquisition strategy. It’s an extension of a previous deck I created, with a bunch of new content and has been well received at startup events I’ve presented it at.
